Check Engine Light

Laura Hasney - Thursday, September 23, 2010
Which is worse a blinking check engine light or a solid on check engine light?

*  A flashing light indicates a problem that is currently happening and may require immediate attention, whereas a steady light can be diagnosed at the first convenient opportunity.

 * A technician connects a “scan tool” to your car’s onboard diagnostic system to determine the problem.
 
* Further testing and diagnostics may be required to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem.
 
* Once the problem is pinpointed, repairs are made and the light is reset.
